[Throughout most of this, Rex sounds pretty calm and ~thoughtful~, rather than his usual rageful when he makes speeches.]

Do you know why I chose Sveta for my nanomites?  She was one of the first wardens injected, if I remember correctly.  [He pauses, thinking about how he wants to phrase this.]  It wasn't just to ( Read more... )

misery loves company, omnom hypocrisy, rex is a drama queen, probably plotting, rex + failure = otp, not happy.

I think it's because many wardens here understand what it is to have their faith broken, and therefore they can identify with it rather than coming in with a cynical view of the world and only having it verified. That hers was more accident that she panicked over, rather than a calculated strike. That she wished to stop it and spoke unreasonably.

I also think you helped change people's opinions on the state of aftermath, and made them consider it more.

All I know is in any case I disapprove. Speculation is dangerous any more.

Not a single thing you've just said makes me feel anything but disgust for this system, Doctor. You've only confirmed what I've known: wardens are quick to protect their own, and they're awarded more understanding than us, the inmates, the people they're supposed to try and understand.

So she benefits from my suffering. That's convenient.

People are quick to protect those that have been kind to them. If you recall, a good deal of people did turn on her when she insulted and belittled them. And someone did stab her significant other to get to her, no one killed your snakes to get you. It's only a day after. You don't know what the fall-out will be.

What I do know is you're looking for reasons for hate and resentment. Which is a shame, because you took care of a lot of people this weekend. It's an abhorrent, thankless job sometimes and the only time you do receive compensation for you good faith is when you break like she did. When there are people there willing to defend you after you helped them.

My arm still hurts. I'm not in the best of moods myself.

However kind I once was wasn't enough to stop people from turning on me the instant somebody threw an accusation at me. Before the nanomites, I mean.

He was directly guarding her and in the way. Somebody killed Shego to get to me for the same reason. My snakes were offered up as revenge AFTER I'd been imprisoned. And the fallout is always the worst directly after the fact. At this rate, we'll be throwing a parade in her honor in a week.

[Long sulky pause.]

I don't have to look very far for reasons.

And what happened, exactly? Why did he attack you? If I hadn't been busy at the time, I would've... [KILLED JIIIIM.]

I certainly wish you would look up excuses not to despise people, too. They're there. They're probably the ones reading what you have to say now. Please don't take them for granted.

He was having a nightmare. He thought I was someone else, and was protecting himself. I need to request some sort of antidote or counter-potion be made for the infirmary in case it happens again, because he was going for my throat.

I'm not taking them for granted. As I said, I want to know why I still was attacked and ridiculed after I'd been neutralized, and she's instantly forgiven by everybody. I don't want people to shun her; I just want to know what makes me so different!

Do you think it happened because of the curse?

You took their free will away from them. For weeks. And you made them hate each other, and turn against their loved ones. Love is a rare thing here, and the worst thing you can do is destroy someone's capacity for it in a place like this. That goes for you or her.

And not everyone's forgiven her.

[Private]

It was a potion he was given. Or so I suspect now. I thought he'd stumbled across it because of the curse, but it may have been given to him by Arthas if he discovered what happened in port.

I can't go around pointing fingers. It's dangerous. But I do want to protect the infirmary staff.

I never argued that what I did wasn't worse than what she did, but she attacked the Barge, as a whole, all the same. And I'd argue that her blaming of everybody was even worse than mine-- at least I limited it to the wardens and their apathy. She blamed a teenage girl she hadn't even met! And there's no anger, none. It's just more "Poor Sveta."

Name one person who hasn't!

[Private]
That's entirely too subtle for Arthas.

They're behind the warden filter. And I won't speak for them, but they're there.

It does seem like it. I'll find out for sure very soon. Narvin and I have arrangements to train him in some psychic protection. I don't trust Narvin's intentions, but I'm hoping if the fear of Frostmourne is lessened his urge to attack those on the Barge will be greatly reduced.

Oh, that's convenient, because as far as any inmate can tell, it's just another Warden doing whatever they want and getting fawned over even after hurting innocent people. I guess if I put a pretty blonde face on my attack, it would've gone over much better with the Barge.

[Private]
Mm. Good luck. [Rex doesn't think Arthas deserves any help from the Doctor :c]
